* ANNE MORRISON DA, SET FREE III sculpture (unique) on driftwood base, signed and titled to base28cm high x 47cm longNote: On graduating in 1974 from Glasgow School of Art, Anne set up a small pottery studio and for a number of years produced handthrown domestic ware and ceramic jewellery. In the mid-nineties she moved on to sculptural work and raku fired ceramics. One of Anne's main influences is the sea and shore, where she has developed her work using 'found objects' that she collects from beaches. This could include smooth pebbles, discarded items and driftwood, even rusted metal and nails. Anne's other aspect of work is sculpting the human figure, where she aims to express emotion and hidden feelings. Her hand-modelled clay figures are placed on pieces of driftwood to help convey a range of emotions, particularly that of unease or confinement. She had her first solo exhibition in 2001 and won the Scottish Potters Association Alisdair Dunn Award in both 2000 and 2002. She was also awarded "Best Piece in Show" prize by The Strathearn Gallery in Perthshire during the Scottish Potters Association exhibition in 2007. Anne continues to exhibit throughout the UK. "My work is based around a theme of decay and renewal and the ongoing cycle of life. Throughout our lives we go through periods of death and rebirth: after many times of darkness come hope and renewal which affect our view of the world, our place within it, and the spiritual aspects beyond it. From old or discarded objects that I collect, I create something new. Large forms are cut and reassembled to reflect the need to rebuild our lives after painful events. Additions of leather, wire or bolts are used to achieve this and also reflect the finds from the shore. Sometimes leaves or plants are pressed into the clay to remind us of the natural world in which we live." In the Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 23rd January 2022, lot 77 "Dreaming" a similar sculpture with driftwood ( 17 x 62cm) by Anne Morrsion sold for £550 (hammer).

* ANGUS GRANT, GREEN SALMON oil on canvas, signedframedimage size 47cm x 35cm, overall size 52cm x 41cm Note: Angus Grant is a painter and craftsman, based in the Cairngorms National Park. His work is inspired by this beautiful location and the changing light on the landscape. In particular, his paintings feature lochs, mountains and wildlife. His studio is at the Spey Bank Studio in Grantown-on-Spey. Angus’s love of fishing is also an important part of his recent collections. He loves to explore the lochs of the Cairngorms and beyond, often finding inspiration instead of fish. Angus says: “Time spent walking or fishing is never wasted and constantly throws up new ideas and imagery to use in my pictures.” Angus initially studied art at Central St Martins School of Art, before going on to study jewellery design at Middlesex University, where he specialised in Japanese-style carving and acrylic. He taught Western Jewellery Design at the National Institute of Jewellery Design in Gudgerat, where he also learned about traditional goldsmithing. After university, he worked for jewellery designer Kirt Holmes in London. He returned to the Highlands in the early 2000s to start his own jewellery business. Angus currently teaches art and design at Grantown Grammar School, tutors the Spey Art Group, and teaches various adult workshops on painting, printmaking, ceramics, jewellery-making and pottery. He is joint owner of the Spey Bank Studio with his partner, Jane Candlish. “The way the light changes here is of great interest to me. The Cairngorms never look the same from one day to the next. In my paintings, I try and capture something of that fleeting ethereal quality of light.”

A French faïence istoriato armorial charger, after the original from the Isabella d’Este service painted by Nicola da Urbino, early 20th century, impressed mark and incised E. 100, the centre painted with the impaled arms of Gonzaga and Este with putti supporters and an impresa of a musical score below, the well with palmette and floral scroll bianco sopra bianco ornament, the border with The Gathering of Manna in a mountainous landscape with two further imprese of the candelabrum and a cauldron, the reverse with an underglaze inscription in Russian and French: A. Prokoryeva (?) / COLLECTION SPITZER / Faïences Italiennes / Nicolo da Urbino / XVIme siècle., 50.5cm diameterFootnotes: Note: This charger is a copy of one of the two largest pieces of the celebrated maiolica service which was made for Isabella d’Este (1474-1539), Marchioness of Mantua, who was one of the most active and important art collectors and patrons of the 16th century. Scholars have established that the service was almost certainly made in 1524 and it was a present from Isabella’s daughter (the Duchess of Urbino) to her mother for her personal use at her villa at Porto, her retreat just outside Mantua. The scenes on the two largest pieces of the service were taken from engravings after Raphael. There is no unity to the subjects of the service, but the unifying feature is the coat-of-arms and the use of Isabella’s personal devices, or imprese, which conveyed particular significance to her (for example the candelabrum on the present lot stands for sufficit unum in tenebris – ‘one [light] is sufficient in the darkness’). For the two d’Este pieces in the British Museum and a discussion of the service, see Dora Thornton and Timothy Wilson, Italian Renaissance Ceramics, London, 2009, pp. 230-236. The original charger that the present lot is after is in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg, and is illustrated by Jörg Rasmussen, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, Italienische Majolika, Hamburg, 1984, no. 116. Condition Report: Overall this charger is in good condition – the principal fault is a small chip to the glaze of the rim at 11.30 o’clock with slight associated cracks to the glaze (this is relatively minor). There is another small chip to the glaze at the edge of the well at 5.30 o’clock – this is minor. There is a firing fault to the border at 4 o’clock (this looks like a slightly indented curved line across the border) – this is minor and dates from the time of manufacture.

Art, Cornish Art and Ceramics Books and catalogues Mollie & Graham met in Wimbledon in 1978. He, a Cornishman, born in Gulval in 1930, acquired an early appreciation of art visiting Newlyn Gallery with his family. In his early career Graham worked in London writing for the Daily Express and he was responsible for one of the first Arts columns in a tabloid paper, but in 1960 he opened an antique shop in Chelsea. Inspired by trips to Italy, he displayed early furniture and antiquities in an uncluttered modern setting, a technique he later utilised in his own home. The Darks moved back to Cornwall in 1980 and at their home in Flushing, and later Truro, curated an impressive body of art and antiquities with a particular focus on Cornish artists such as Paul Feiler and Terry Frost, who both became close friends. The paintings were displayed alongside mid-century modern designer furniture by Eames, Bertoia and Magistretti, and arrangements of antiquities, thought of as ‘ensembles’ by Graham. Warm, charming, and generous hosts, they entertained their artistic circle of friends in their exquisitely arranged home, and it is a privilege for us to handle their beautiful possessions today. We hope to present them to you with as much care and consideration as the Darks used, and that those two remarkable connoisseurs would have approved.Graham Dark 1930-2015Mollie Dark 1928-2024
